# Release Management
`release-manager` applies this skill at Gate 6.
## Process
| Step | Action | Pass criteria |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Scope | List the merged work items in the release. | Each item passed Gates 0 to 5. |
| 2. Notes | Write release notes: changes, mapping or schema changes, known issues. | Every work item appears once. |
| 3. Rollback | Write the rollback plan: previous version, data steps, owner. | A person other than the author can follow it. |
| 4. Promote | Deploy to each environment in order and run smoke tests. | Each environment passes before the next. |
| 5. Approve | Request production approval through `administrative-assistant`. | A human approved. |
| 6. Verify | Observe health, errors, and latency for the window set by the non-functional requirements. | Values meet the targets. |
| 7. Close out | Update the release work item. | The state matches the evidence. |
## Rules
- Release a database or schema change only with a tested rollback or forward-fix plan.
- Treat a failed smoke test as a stop; roll back or fix before promotion.
- Keep secrets out of release artifacts.
